Thanks for stopping by my fundraising page for the Army 10 Miler with Team Fight.  Hopefully you'll make a very large donation belfore you leave :)

I've decided to take my running journey in a different direction.  I want it to be more than just about me and winning.  I want to use my legs to give back to those who can't do it for themselves. I was introduced to a wonderful organization this year - The Ulman Cancer Fund.  We've all been touched by cancer and know the impact it causes to individuals, families and communities each and every day.  I've dealt with two small bouts of skin cancer and that's nothing compared to what others deal with for cancers far more serious.  I love that this organization helps Young Adults and those that are my age.  I worry every day about money, job, bills, etc and can't even image what it would be like to add a serious health issue to that mix.  Therefore, I'm choosing to make my running this year about giving back.  Please help me support this journey!

The Ulman Cancer Fund for Young Adults changes lives by creating a community of support for young adults, and their loved ones, as they fight cancer and embrace survivorship. 

With your support, The Ulman Cancer Fund is able to provide multiple support services and resources for the young adult cancer community, including: 

• Cancer to 5K - A free, progressive, 12-week run/walk program designed to reintroduce cancer survivors to physical activity.

• Helping Others Fight - A volunteer program that provides basic services – such as transportation to and from treatment, yard work, home repairs, delivery of chemo care bags – to local cancer patients and their families so they can focus their energy on their battle with cancer and their well-being.

• Patient Navigation - A free program - onsite at cancer centers and remote - that ensures no young adult ever faces cancer alone.  We provide one-on-one personal support and resources to young adults and their families to help them manage the cancer experience and long-term cancer survival. 

• Scholarships - A financial assistance program to help young adults continue their education after being affected by cancer through their own diagnosis or the diagnosis of a loved one.


Thank you for making these programs and our mission possible.
